Absolutely based. Bringing up the swearing MBS has taken issue with as well as when he was losing his mind over Hamilton's fucking nose stud, as opposed to serious FIA failings or fucking missiles landing near tracks.
They're also right in that financial fines are useless.
I wish we had competent and rational people in the FIA.
The official problem with Hamilton's jewellery was, in case of fire they are between the fireproof underwear and the skin. Vettel protested against that rule this way, as he doesn't have piercings.
TLDR: The GPDA statement addresses concerns over driver misconduct, emphasizing that drivers must respect referee decisions. They differentiate between casual swearing and insulting language, and criticize the FIA President’s public tone and unnecessary media instructions to drivers. The GPDA opposes driver fines, calling for financial transparency from the FIA and greater collaboration among all stakeholders to improve the sport.

Let's hope they care at all about this. I'm not sure the pettiness of the fines will be let go.

And like they say, they have asked for years regarding the use of that money and FIA has straight up ignored any inquiry.
